Stride puts a ghost on the course with you: your best past effort or a friend's run. You see who's ahead in real time and hear a call-out every time the lead changes.
Features
Choose any past activity, yours or a friend's, and chase it live. Two lanes show who's in front, a gap counter shows the distance in metres and seconds, and you get a voice and vibration alert whenever the lead changes. Beat the ghost and the win goes on your activity as a badge.
High-accuracy GPS that skips weak fixes and impossible jumps. Time, distance and pace update as you go, and the screen stays awake mid-run.
See your friends' runs, rides and hikes with their routes drawn in. Give kudos with a tap, and expect some back soon after you save.
Ghost Buster, Three-peat, Goal Crusher, Hype Squad. Quests reset every Monday and you get confetti for each one you finish.
Set a weekly distance goal and watch the ring fill. A 7‑day chart and a streak counter show how consistent you've been.
Your routes are stored only on your device. There's no account, no tracking pixels, and nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Tap Install the app, or open it right in your browser. No sign-up.
Choose last week's best run or a friend's tempo run. You can also just record with no ghost.
Keep the phone in your pocket. Voice call-outs tell you when you pass the ghost or it passes you.
Your activity goes to the feed with a win/loss badge, and friends cheer you on.
Finish quests, fill your goal ring and keep the streak going. Next week, race the runner you are today.
Made for
Race your own best effort so you know mid-run whether you're on pace.
Can't run together? Race a friend's ghost on the same loop and compare later.
Quests and streaks turn "I should run" into a small win every week.
